Product Overview
The FortiGate 60F is a next-generation firewall and secure SD-WAN appliance, which is small to medium-sized, built to suit small businesses, branch offices, and distributed enterprises. The FG-60F is based on the purpose-built Security Processing Unit (SPU), powered by Fortinet technology, which can provide enterprise-class security services, including firewalling, intrusion prevention, SSL inspection, and application control, with outstanding performance and low latency. It is a desktop-friendly, fanless device that fits the office setting well, with built-in SD-WAN to provide cost-effective, reliable, and secure connectivity across various WAN links.
Key Features and Benefits
-
High-Performance Security: Achieves a maximum of 10 Gbps firewall throughput, 1.4 Gbps intrusion prevention, and 700 Mbps threat protection, which allows it to provide a high level of performance with a high level of defense.
-
Optimized SSL Inspection: This offers high-performance security for encrypted traffic with a high-grade SSL/TLS inspection to protect encrypted traffic, which is becoming a necessity in current networks.
-
Integrated SD-WAN: Removes the complexity of WAN management through application-aware routing, WAN optimization, and link resiliency to enable organizations to be less dependent on the costly MPLS circuits.
-
Multi-purpose connectivity: Supports 10 GE RJ45 ports, featuring 2-port WAN, 2-port DMZ, and 2-port FortiLink, providing versatility in both branch and SMB applications.
-
Silent and Energy-Saving Design: Fanless operation ensures silent performance, consuming as little as 17- 18.5W of power, which is typical and suitable for offices that cannot tolerate noise.
-
Advanced Security Services: Syncs with FortiGuard subscriptions, providing real-time threat intelligence, web filtering, application control, and antivirus protection.
-
Scalable VPN Support: Supports thousands of simultaneous connections on encrypted networks and can handle large volumes of them, making it ideal for secure remote access and site-to-site VPNs.

Product Information
The FortiGate 60F has enhanced security and networking features that are easy to install in one device. It utilizes an SPU hardware acceleration engine designed by Fortinet to provide security services at speeds typically associated with larger appliances. Its desktop shape is designed for small areas, it requires minimal power, and it produces no disruptive noise.
The unit has 10 GE interfaces, enabling flexible role assignments of either WAN, LAN, DMZ, or FortiLink, and thus is very versatile for different network architectures. Having SD-WAN built with intelligence, organizations can have finer-grained control and visibility of the application traffic, which improves user experience and lowers the cost of WAN.
The comprehensive security level is also current owing to the FortiGuard subscription services that ensure continuous coverage against current threats. In the meantime, high-performance VPNs enable safe remote working and inter-office connectivity in large-scale applications.
As an independent firewall to protect a small-scale business, or as a branch gateway within a larger distributed organization, the FG-60F is a balanced mix of performance, ease, and security in a secure way to use in a current IT set-up.
